John Webster's bloody Jacobean tragedy exposes the decadence of the Italian court.
The virtuous Duchess of Malfi, a young widow, secretly marries her steward Antonio,
and is subsequently persecuted by her brothers: the sexually obsessed and eventually
mad Ferdinand, and the corrupt Cardinal. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett).
